Dr. Joe Masessa was a close friend of mine. I helped him out with his strikemaster jet and his Citation, mostly at F45, but some at PBI. I spoke with him shortly before the crash. I have no input, other than the wish to express my sadness at the loss of another good friend. I'm in Jupiter, FL and the airshow was right up the road in Stuart, FL. My family and friends had planned on going today (Sat Nov 2, 2019) . I've spent the last day on the phone with his friends and various girlfriends. Not my words, but they describe him perfectly: Joe was "Brilliant, Different, Bold". He was a well known surgeon, owned a series of Dermatology offices and owned 5 aircraft.

I heard from a friend who works at the Stuart field, he was "test flying" after some maintenance.

I don't have 10 posts so I can't post a picture.
